After deciding on France for our first family holiday with our 6 month old daughter we wanted to find a place that offered both a family friendly environment but with the opportunity to explore the region without spending hours in the car. This place surpassed all our expectations!
Firstly, the Gite itself was stunning and renovated to an extremely high standard with all of the facilities that you could need, but the icing on the cake was the pool with the amazing views over the country side. We could have happily stayed by the pool for the entire holiday.
Having spent the first few days relaxing we decided to start exploring the area. Barbaste (which has an amazing restaurant Le Moulin des Saveurs) and and Lavardac are a comfortable walk or a 5 minute drive (Lavardac has a great super market!) and there's also the beautiful town of Nerac, and with it's with it's markets it's a must see! The region also has some fantastic wines and Buzet is well worth a visit.
This Gite tickeked all of the boxes for us and overall, and of all the holidays my wife and I have had over the years, the 10 days we spent there were some of the best. We barely scratched the surface and will definitely be visiting again. We haven't stopped recommending it to our friends!

This well laid out accommodation provides everything you need for a peaceful holiday on the edge of a small village with shop and bar/bistro. The BBQ area in a dedicated section of the garden is a delight. The owners are friendly and helpful but not at all intrusive. Highly recommended.

Wonderful accommodation, old French buildings with all the modern conveniences. Better than described with all home comforts. Very clean. Well equipped both inside and out (loungers, comfy sofas, garden table and chairs for dining outside). Beautiful pool in a lovely garden setting. Short drive to restaurants, cafés and markets. River walk just few minutes down quiet road. Friendly and helpful owners gave advice on where to eat, what to see/ do. Will definitely return !
